I-BSI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limita-
tions for the I-BSI system. Failure to
operate the vehicle in accordance
with these system limitations could
result in serious injury or death.
. The I-BSI system cannot detect all
vehicles under all conditions.
. The radar sensors may not be
able to detect and activate I-BSI
when certain objects are present such as:
— Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.
— Vehicles such as motorcycles,
low height vehicles, or high
ground clearance vehicles.
— Vehicles remaining in the de- tection zone when you accel-
erate from a stop.
— Oncoming vehicles.
— A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed ap-
proximately the same as your
vehicle.
— A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.
— A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.
— A vehicle that passes through the detection zone quickly.
. The radar sensor’s detection zone
is designed based on a standard
lane width. When driving in a
wider lane, the radar sensors
may not detect vehicles in an
adjacent lane. When driving in a
narrow lane, the radar sensors
may detect vehicles driving two
lanes away. .
The radar sensors are designed
to ignore most stationary objects,
however objects such as guard-
rails, walls, foliage and parked
vehicles may occasionally be de-
tected. This is a normal operation
condition.
. The following conditions may re-
duce the ability of the radar to
detect other vehicles:
— Severe weather
— Road spray
— Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the
vehicle
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install ac-
cessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
These conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
. The camera may not detect lane
markers in the following situa-
tions and the I-BSI system may
not operate properly.
— On roads where there are
multiple parallel lane markers;
lane markers that are faded or
not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-
Starting and driving5-49

5-50Starting and driving
standard lane markers; lane
markers covered with water,
dirt, snow, etc.
— On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detect-
able.
— On roads where there are sharp curves.
— On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects,
such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or
lines remaining after road re-
pairs.
— On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
— When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with
the lane markers.
— When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which
obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
— When rain, snow or dirt ad- heres to the windshield in
front of a lane camera unit.
— When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens
or if aiming is not adjusted properly.
— When strong light enters a lane camera unit. (For exam-
ple: light directly shines on the
front of the vehicle at sunrise
or sunset.)
— When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For exam-
ple: when the vehicle enters or
exits a tunnel or under a
bridge.)
. Do not use the I-BSI system under
the following conditions because
the system may not function
properly.
— During bad weather. (For ex-
ample: rain, fog, snow, etc.)
— When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow,
etc.
— When driving on winding or uneven roads.
— When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.
— When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.
— When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow. — When driving with a tire that is
not within normal tire condi-
tions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation
of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original steering
parts or suspension parts.
— When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
. Excessive noise (for example,
audio system volume, open vehi-
cle window) will interfere with the
chime sound, and it may not be
heard.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsfor the I-BSI
system are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar
sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such as
splashing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be
caused by objects such as ice, frost or
dirt obstructing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstruct-
ing the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material), install accessories or apply additional paint near the radar
sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors.
It is recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer if the area around the radar
sensors is damaged due to a collision.
The lane camera unit
for I-BSI system is
located above the inside mirror. To keep
the proper operation of I-BSI and prevent
a system malfunction, be sure to observe
the following:
. Always keep the windshield clean.
. Do not attach a sticker (including
transparent material) or install an
accessory near the camera unit.
. Do not place reflective materials, such
as white paper or a mirror, on the
instrument panel. The reflection of
sunlight may adversely affect the
camera unit’s capability of detecting
the lane markers.
. Do not strike or damage the areas
around the camera unit. Do not touch
the camera lens or remove the screw
located on the camera unit. It is
recommended you contact a NISSAN

RCTA system could result in serious
injury or death.
.The RCTA system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving proce-
dures and is not designed to
prevent contact with vehicles or
objects. When backing out of a
parking space, always use the
side and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction your
vehicle will move. Never rely so-
lely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when
backing out from a parking space. When
the vehicle is in reverse, the system is
designed to detect other vehicles ap-
proaching from the right or left of the
vehicle. If the system detects cross traffic,
it will alert you.
